Morning photo: Ode to snow … » snowcrystals2

A few years ago, I walked outside and noticed some nicely formed flakes on the rear window of our car. I ran back upstairs and grabbed my Fuji Finepix, set it to macro and snapped a few shots, not really thinking it would turn out. But I love the result and I've kept the image in my files to illustrate various stories about snow.

Of course, that didn't show the same dedication displayed by Wilson Bentley, a Vermont resident, who spent several years of his life perfecting the art of photographing individual snow crystals in the late 1800s. Click on the image to read about Bentley and to see more of his stunning pics.
